Amazon.com: Rapt: Attention and the Focused Life: Winifred Gallagher: Books: "The author makes a strong argument about the superficial amount of focus children give due to technology overwhelm. Where hours of focused practice made for successful mastery of subjects, today's youth (and increasingly, many adults) are unable to focus long enough to complete tasks requiring intellectual rigor or deep thought. Or in the words of the author: 'when you're finally forced to confront intellectually demanding situations in high school or college, you may find that you've traded depth of knowledge for breadth and stunted your capacity for serious thought.'
In a time of information overwhelm, this is the one book that everyone should read, thoroughly."
